Stirling University student Nick Rosenzweig completed his collection of student tennis titles – defeating
two team-mates in the process.

Stirling University's Nick Rosenzweig won both the men's singles and doubles titles at the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Individual Championship Finals in Sheffield.

The sports coaching student – ranked fifth best tennis player in Scotland – won the men’s singles and doubles
at the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Individual Championship Finals in Sheffield.

The
doubles title was the only one to have previously evaded three-times singles champion Rosenzweig. He teamed up with Harry Skinner and the duo
took the title away from fellow Stirling students Calum Gee and Graeme Dyce in the final.

Rosenzweig
said: “To win the singles for the third year in a row – I’m very happy as it’s not easy to win these tournaments. The level of competition is high and it gets harder every year, playing against other world-ranked players.

“Doubles was the one I was really wanting as I knew it was the only one I hadn’t won. We faced our team-mates, but you have to treat them like any other opponents and just play full-on, then once the match is over we are all friends again. We all wanted to win and it was a very competitive match though on the day I think Harry [Skinner] and I played the better tennis
and deserved to win.”

Rosenzweig
is close to completing his degree, with one final module and a dissertation to complete this year. He receives a tennis scholarship from Stirling and is also a recipient of national funding support from Winning Students.

He currently coaches tennis in his home city of Dundee and competes in Aegon British Tour and ITF Futures competitions.

“I’ve
got lots going on with my studies, playing and coaching tennis so I’m not looking too far ahead at the moment,” said Rosenzweig. “With the Stirling team, we would like to try and win the European University Championships this summer as the team has come third now on a couple of occasions. First we have to qualify then the aim would be to go further than we’ve managed before.”

Stirling
performance tennis coach Euan McGinn said: “I’m very proud of all my players this weekend. To have a clean sweep in the men’s event shows how
much hard work these guys put in on a day to day basis.”
